ABSTRACT:
A device and a method for automatically tightening spokes in spoke wheels. The device of the invention is used with a spoke wheel comprising a hub, into which spokes have been passed and extend through a wheel rim and are each provided with a loosely threaded spoke nipple at the outside of the rim. The device comprises means for clamping the hub and for engaging the outside and the edges of the rim as well as coupling means driven by prime movers for tightening the spoke nipples. The method proposes the steps of securely clamping the hub, securing the outside of the rim, subjecting the rim to a force in such manner that it becomes positioned in a single plane, and tightening each of the spoke nipples to an individual predetermined tightening torque.
